What followed was a 13-year saga of thrilling wins, petulant opponents, dramatic showdowns, and surprising friendships as Judit charged toward her goal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The Queen of Chess documentary is directed by Emmy-winning filmmaker Rory Kennedy, with Mark Bailey and Keven McAlester writing the screenplay.

The creative team consists of cinematographer Imre Juh\u00e1sz, composers Camilo Forero &amp; Chris Brocato, and editors Azin Samari &amp; Jesse Overman.
